So again it's a mostly open thread, although I'd like to post video of the great Roy Clark, who passed away yesterday at the age of 85. Clark is mostly remembered today for his many years on the syndicated variety show "Hee Haw," where he held court with Buck Owens and a cast of Nashville Grand Ole Opry performers and cornfed cuties. You got glimpses of Roy Clark's brilliance on the show, but he was an amazing guitarist who could play anything. If you want evidence, consider this performance from about 1975, when Clark was a guest on "The Odd Couple":
RIP.

In FL election news: after all the harrumphing about counting every vote in FL, it appears Broward and Palm Beach Counties failed to get their machine recount numbers into the state on time so they will have to stick with their election day totals. I've seen reports suggesting Republican candidates would have picked up about 779 additional votes in Broward, but I doubt there will be much of an outcry from the DNC about how every vote must be counted.
Nothin' like some good Icelandic dance music!

Hope so, John, although I have also heard a hand recount of the Senate race is now on the docket, so we may be back to the spectacle of the Hanging Chad or somesuch.
Quote I saw from a native Floridian: given a choice between ice cream and a kick in the teeth, Florida would vote 50.1%-49.9%.
Love me that Icelandic dance music, too. Thankfully the rest of the office isn't here yet to see me dancing in my cube!
when Clark was diagnosed with alzhiemers, he planned a final tour, a farewell. Its good to see a man, and a decent one such as him, go out on his terms.
